Gardeners and Artists: We invite to take our Window Box Challenge

We invite you to transform an empty wooden window box into a work of art to be displayed in the healing garden of the Cancer Resource Centre in Munster. These unique window box creations will be a beautiful source of inspiration at the Cancer Resource Centre’s Inspiration from the Garden program on July 22, 2107.

The Cancer Resources Centre provides a window of hope for cancer patients and their families, offering free support services. Your window box creation will be sold and/or raffled off to attendees of the Inspirations from the Garden program benefiting the work of the Cancer Resource Centre.

How to Participate in the Window Box Challenge

All boxes must be delivered back to the Cancer Resource Centre on Thursday or Friday July 20 & 21, between the hours of 8:30 am and 5 pm.

Each Window Box artist receives a free ticket to attend the Inspiration from the Garden Event. Additional tickets can be purchased on the date of the event or in advance from the Cancer Resource Centre.
